Bound Success Stories: School Support

District-Wide Understanding & Integration: How Olathe Schools Found True Support with Bound

"Everybody is on the same team, they're making everybody feel important… With Bound, I swear if I don’t get a response in an hour, something’s wrong. It’s usually minutes."

Matt Johnson  | Olathe School District Director of Athletics, Activities & Student Transportation

'Refreshing' support.

The results have been clear. Olathe’s schools feel supported not only by the platform, but by the people behind it. Whether it’s help with ticketing, marketing materials, or technical troubleshooting, Bound responds quickly and effectively.

“It’s been really refreshing… Brian and Aaron have told us numerous times that until we get you guys up and running, we want to carry as big a load as we can to make it smooth and easy for you guys. They’ve been very available for emails, phone calls, and text messages with great response time… If we can’t help you, we’re going to find somebody really quickly who can.”

That level of service has built confidence across the district. “The feedback I get from my teams and the schools, the boots on the ground people is that they're really glad we made this change, but they're really excited for what this all [is going to] look like six months or a year from now when they feel like they've really got their roots into using Bound around every day.”

Matt and his team have expressed their appreciation for how Bound responds to their feedback and requests for support, spearheaded by a team of former ADs who understand the everyday lives of administrators.

 "Hearing those guys talk, [them] having that background experience as ADs, they were so relevant to us, whereas other vendors were salespeople.

That type of experience from someone who's been in your shoes, [it makes a difference]. It resonates, [and] it did with all of us."

Brian Petersen and Aaron Stecker, both former ADs, now serve on Bound's team of ADs-in-residence. They spent their careers serving the public, and now are dedicated to helping administrators across the country spend less time on managing day-to-day systems, and more time leading their communities.
